The complete list of these holidays is given on the official website of RBI, in which complete details of different festivals and holidays are given according to the states. However, despite the banks being closed, customers will not face any problem because even on holidays people can complete all their work with the help of online banking. In today’s time, most of the bank services are available online. Therefore, even on holidays, you can complete many banking tasks sitting at home. But if you have any work which is necessary to do by going to the bank, then you should complete it on time.
